Danny Holt solo piano @ Cafe MUSE

Danny breaks a long hiatus and presents a solo concert in the pleasant and laid-back atmosphere of Hollywood's Cafe MUSE.  Searching for respite from the extreme minimalism and early 20th-century ultra-modernism that have characterized his recent solo projects, Danny's latest explorations take him into the intersection of contemporary classical music with the worlds of rock, jazz, and pop.

Music by Mike Garson, Caleb Burhans, Nico Muhly, Michael Jon Fink, Graham Fitkin, Zbigniew Preisner, and Christopher O'Riley's transcriptions of songs by Radiohead.

Skaller/Holt Duo @ CalArts

Phil Skaller and Danny Holt share their unique brand of 2-piano madness, performing their own quirky arrangements of Bulgarian folks tunes and works by progressive jazz bassist/composer Mark Dresser, alongside Steve Reich's seminal Piano Phase, with Morton Feldman's Two Pieces for Two Pianos (1954) thrown in to provide a brief respite from the dense, ferocious rhythmic energy of the rest of the program.

Danny's latest multimedia performance piece features early 20th-century piano music by Ives, Ruggles, Cowell, Antheil, Crawford, Nancarrow, and Satie in a colorful, informative, and entertaining multimedia context.

(Ongoing performances throughout the west coast.)

Michael Gordon: "What to Wear?"

The vibrant, edgy new opera by Bang On a Can co-founder Michael Gordon and legendary avant-garde director Richard Foreman.

A pageant of seductiveness gone wrong—as everyone on stage turns less and less beautiful, something more ecstatic than beauty slowly reveals its awesome 21st-century face...

The Los Angeles Times called it "dazzling, hard-hitting" and "a riot...'What to Wear' is what opera in America might have been like if the Virgil Thomson/Gertrude Stein model in the '30s had become mainstream and kept evolving."
